Data Services General Information
The following topics will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including
managing your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your
phone.
Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard may appear
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process
your data usage request.
Your Data Services User Name
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, you're automatically assigned a user name,
which is typically based on your name and a number.
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the network. Your
user name is automatically programmed into your phone. You don't have to enter it.
Update Your User Name
If you choose to change your user name and select a new one online, or make any changes to
your services, you must then update the profile on your phone.

Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of
the screen. The following symbols are used:
Your phone is connected to the 3G Mobile Broadband Network (3G). When the signal bands are
animated, your phone is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page);
when the signal bands are gray, your phone is connected to the network but is not currently
transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). In
either state, you can receive incoming calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current data connection.
Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
From your phone, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow
you to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate
network.
